Harry was good a lot of things. An orphan, even in that time, a unit such as Sharpe's with a man he could respect must have given him a place of belonging - a place he no longer had. Without knowledge of his magic, or that dreadful responsibility, he'd still been an opponent to be feared - and perhaps one who had been more content.
But Molly did not choose to share these thoughts; Harry's business was his own. Instead she turned to try to find a vase or a vase-like substitute in her still sparse apartment. "Tell me which will be better - if I accept your apology, even though I don't think you need to offer it - or if I insist you take it back?"
